Hi folks. I wasn't aware of the class SparseLargeTable but it seems it has two important instances "SparseLargeTable allInstances size -> 2"
They are the class side variables #DecimalProperty and #GeneralCategory in Unicode.
Actually,
(Unicode classPool at: 'GeneralCategory') size -> 917632
(Unicode classPool at: 'DecimalProperty') size -> 917632
So...collections of almost 1 million elements.
Now a couple of questions:
1) Is this normal/expected? In my calculus both arrays are like 3mb of memory Look at the implementation, there's a reason they're called sparse. If my math is correct (crosses fingers), DecimalProperty is ~15KB, GeneralCategory ~70KB
2) If I don't use UTF and I send an encoding as parameter in the VM (different from UTF), do I need this class side variables?
What Lukas said. Cheers, Henry
